They will order sizes or alter most clothes. Great selections from Mizzen and Main, Johnston and Murphy, Johnnie O, Tommy B Peter Millar to name a few. They have added some Lulelemon clothing too. If you are in the business world or just looking to upgrade your suit selection, button up shirts or golf look, this is a fantastic men's store in downtown Ames I would recommend. Quality is worth it.

It's so obvious that she loves and cares about her work. This store is adorable - always a solid offering of trendy and timeless clothing, quirky/fun gifts, plants, accessories, etc. Sort of like Target x10000 (you go in for one thing and walk out with 30). So much thought has been put into each product and detail of the store itself. I normally have to steer myself away from boutiques because I'm a poor young person and can't afford boutique pricing, but everything here is fair, affordable, and (yes it's true) high quality. I've been shopping here since it first opened and this place has always been quality/lovely! Whenever I'm back in Ames I have to swing in. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and visit :)

I only hope my review can help other college students be smart about their money and realize, as my friend did, that instead of supporting a small business that she thought she was, it still supports unethical fast fashion. I also know how hard my friend works for her money, which is why I was prompted to write this. Even if it is legal, I find it wrong to upscale and mislead college students.

When my parents came to visit recently, we stopped by Emerhoff's Footwear to get me a new pair of sneakers (mine had holes in the heels) and also to find a solid pair of shoes for my upcoming internship. The service was amazing--from the wide selection and quality brands to the genuinely helpful staff. I was able to try on a bunch of different sneakers until I found the right pair. Then, when it came to the work shoes, they helped me test out insoles and different fits until we found something that worked perfectly. A special shoutout to Chloe--she went above and beyond. They ordered the work shoes in for me, and instead of making me pay a ridiculous shipping fee to get them to my dorm, Chloe personally delivered them. Amazing service and knowledge of their customer base, I am proud to say that they value quality and service in high regard. Huge thanks to both Chloe and the store owner for the top-notch service, not just during the purchase, but all the way through until the shoes were in my hands. I HIGHLY recommend Emerhoff's if you're in Ames or anywhere nearby. You won't be disappointed.

They had a lot of mid range and brand name items so the prices I saw were generally in the $7-20 range, and some items considerably more if they were a desirable brand. This is a good place to go if you like being able to find clean, current, brand name items at a good price because they're gently used. If you're more of a traditional "thrifter" you may find the prices to be higher than what you're used to paying.

This used to be a good place to purchase jewelry, but those days are gone!! If I could give them a…read moreminus 10, I would not hesitate to do so as a result of my last transaction with Kyle. I took in a necklace that they had made for me years ago to request that they take my stones and put them in a ring instead. I found a rind I liked, left my stones with them, and received a call stating that I needed to bring in 1/2 of the purchase price in order to have the ring made. They had not told me that previously. I went to the store and gave them 1/2 as they had requested. Kyle was there, and I let him know that I had purchased many pieces of jewelry from them over the years and never had been asked for money down. Further, I told him that I found it offensive to have that happen this time. Kyle immediately raised his voice and said "Well, let's just cancel the sale then!"! He further stated that they want the deposit for security in case I did not pick up the ring. I said "Well, you have my stones". I tried to explain that I just was sharing my feelings about how this request and how it was different than any other time I made a purchase. I wasn't refusing to give them the deposit. They already had that in hand. He again reiterated, louder this time, that we should just cancel the sale then. A female then intervened and tried to smooth things over, because I was horrified at how I was being treated and as this continued I began to cry (which I don't easily do). She initially convinced me to continue with the sale, and I left the store. But I was so upset with the way I was treated that I went back in, told her that no one had ever treated me that way, let her know that I never wanted to deal with Kyle again, and asked for my stones and my deposit back. She gave me both and I left, incredulous that I had been so disrespected. Later that day Kyle called me and told me that he had checked their records, knew that I had purchased many things from them in the past and was never asked to pay a deposit, and offered me the ring at 1/3 off, I told him I would have to think about it. I called them back a few days later and told them that I would take the ring. I picked up the ring in early October along with an appraisal, and I did not deal with Kyle. I had the old appraisal from the necklace and compared them and noticed that part of the appraisal was missing, but was reluctant to return to the store because I did not believe I would be treated with respect if I complained about this. Also, I was unhappy with how the larger stone was set in the ring. So I waited a long time while deciding what I should do to remedy this situation and to leave this review. I believe that Kyle needs to take a comprehensive course on customer relations!!! So I took the ring and the appraisal to Gilger Designs down the street from Ames Silversmithing. They reset the larger stone for me and gave me a new appraisal that was complete. They treated me with respect, ,and I cannot praise their work and customer service enough, especially after my bad experience with Kyle. I will NEVER go back to Ames Silversmithing!! Lyn Wilson
